It is a common and informal way of asking someone about their activities or actions during a specific moment in the past. The expression "at that time" refers to a specific point in the past, while "What were you doing" is a way to inquire about someone's behavior during that moment.
Here are a few examples in English with their Chinese translations:
English: "What were you doing at 2 PM yesterday?"
Chinese: "昨天下午2点你在干什么?"
English: "What were you doing when the accident happened?"
Chinese: "事故发生时你在干什么?"
English: "What were you doing last night?"
Chinese: "昨晚你在干什么?"
